The ethical living section - which i think he was/is a key writer (if not the only writer) for has an address at the bottom of this page - http://money.guardian.co.uk/ethicall...291139,00.html - is that the one you found Adi?

Yeah, that's all I could find. I'll give it a try tommorrow.

Cheers - hopefully it'll get through. I think he'd be quite interesting.

Dr Heidi Cullen might be good too.

Nope, that email bounced unfortunately.

How about Richard Strawbridge of It's Not Easy Being Green

[Claire]

Roger Budgeon's something of a hero to me - I've mentioned his green garage and greenshop a few times I think. I find his philosophy of "start from where you are" inspiring, if he'd consent to come and talk to us I think he'd be really interesting. More info here and their contact details are here

Also, Chas Griffin, who wrote "Scenes from a smallholding" and "More scenes from a smallholding" would be great too. These books are part memoir, (about how he and his family moved from city life, where he worked as a teacher, to an organic semi-closed small-holding in Wales) part articles on how to do stuff like "grow a lot of runner beans" and part general reflections on the meaning of life and how to get the most use out of wellies, or what the best wardrobe is for a smallholder. He's a very funny and knowledgeable guy. Email address towards the end of the top post on his blog

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll ask those people tommorrow.

Funny that Wobs and I both posted in here at almost the same time, after quite a gap - great minds think alike, perhaps?

You'll be pleased to know that Chas Griffin has agreed to be interviewed. Unfortunately due to time/Internet constraints the interview won't be live but you will all still be able to post your questions to him, so it should be good
